help with weight loss

[Guest guest]

Tonda,

In addition to what someone said about changing your eating habits to more

natural and organic foods you will have to up your exercise if you want to

lose weight. If you are seriously overweight and not cardiovascularly fit

you will need to work up to 60 -90 minutes a day, 5 or 6 days a week of

cardiovascular exercise. And when I say work up to, you might start with 20

mintues a day, next week do 25, the next week 30... or as much as you can

handle. Walking is great, but you need to walk hard enough to sweat and

make it slightly difficult to carry on a conversation. As your

cariovascular system becomes more fit you can cut that back to 30 minutes a

day 5 or 6 days a week. You can tell you are becoming more fit if your

resting heart rate decreases - in the 60's is pretty good. You will also

need to lift weights - 3 or 4 days a week. Muscle burns fat - the more

muscle you have the more fat you will burn. Work each muscle group - chest,

back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, quads, hamstrings, calves and abs. Do 2

or 3 exercises for each muscle group with 3 sets of each exercise. The

weight should be heavy enough that it is not easy. A couple of sets of

dumbbells is all you need. You don't need to all of these everyday, but

rotate. Maybe do chest, back, shoulders one day; biceps, triceps the next

and legs the next. I would do abs everytime you life.

 

Its not easy, but it is so worth it. It will take a lot of time, but I have

found in my life that I make time for the things that are important to me.

You mentioned 3 kids... with the changes you make in your diet (natural,

unprocessed and organic) and exercise you will be able to have the energy to

keep up with your kids and enjoy life.

 

Best of luck,

Ann Marie
